We've Been Punk'd! Best Dressed at the 2013 Met Gala

The 2013 Met Gala: An event where black lipstick, spikes, and dirty-looking hair is the norm.

Only Miley Cyrus can A. spike her hair like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, B. rock a black fishnet-like number from Marc Jacobs with a red lip, and C. wear a safety pin in her ear.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Leave it to Carrie Bradshaw, err, SJP to rock a headpiece by Philip Treacy paired with a patterned Giles Deacon gown and plaid Christian Louboutin thigh-high heels. "My plaid boots are a nod to the flannel that we think of in the punk period," she said on the red carpet.

Jennifer Lawrence

J. Law "didn't have a punk phase," which perhaps is why she donned a classic-looking strapless Dior textured black dress with a black skinny belt, open-toe platforms, a black birdcage veil over her face, braided updo, and a red lip.

Madonna

Madonna = punk perfection in her plaid Givenchy number. No one nailed the grunge look better than the Material Girl in ripped fishnets, a Pulp Fiction-esque black bob, and orangey-red lipstick.

The Safe Haven star and former Cosmo cover girl walked the red carpet in a gray strapless tulle Topshop dress that she accessorized with black Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. But what we thought was the coolest, most punk part of her head-to-toe look was her "fishnet-finished" hairstyle that was created by criss-crossing a ton of bobby pins over one another.

Kim went for the "romantic punk" look, she said, wearing an all-floral dress by Riccardo Tisci complete with a high neck, high side slit. The couch-resembling fabric sure was successful at hiding her hands in gloves made from the same pattern. Eek.
That said, she rocked a gorgeous berry lip color, smoky eye, and sleek hair.

Gwyneth Paltrow

"I'm punk in that I've gone totally classic," said Paltrow. But even though the star's hot pink Valentino gown isn't lined with safety pins, we still think the deconstructed top of her dress says edgy. To add to the grunge effect, she wore her hair in a textured ponytail, but opted for barely there makeup.

Katy Perry

This singer sure knows how to push the fashion envelope! Katy stopped traffic on 82nd and Fifth Avenue, wearing a printed Dolce & Gabbana sequin-studded dress straight from the runway complete with a crown and goddy gold chandelier earrings. "I'm the Joan of Arc of punk," she said.

Gwen Stefani

The No Doubt stunner rocked a Maison Martin Margiela cutout black and white gown, flashing a bit of her toned stomach. Jealous much?
Her punk hairstyle and black liner gave her classic look a bit of edge.

Looking stunningly punk in a burgundy Stella McCartney pantsuit with laser-cut detailing, K Stew looked TDF.
We also love that she went with a hairstyle complete with a twisted hairline, sleek sides, a low knot, and a deep side part. Red colored eyeshadow also tied in her whole ensemble like whoa.

Jennifer Lopez

We weren't surprised when J. Lo showed up wearing an animal print Michael Kors dress and a perfectly punked-out caramel-colored mohawk. This look was made for her and she's owning it so hard.

Um, we heart Sienna's Burberry look from head-to-toe. Hard. When you can pull off a classic-looking white long dress with a spiked and studded black and gold leather jacket, bejeweled clutch, you know you've got serious style.
We also loved how she paired her look with heavily-lined eyes, a deeply-swept style adorned with a spike headband, and a nude lip. #Swoon.

The Mad Men star shined in a black sequin Chanel mini with crazy-awesome geometric black eyeliner. "Siouxsie Sioux was the inspiration," Jones said. "Punk to me is glamorous, but still funky, and anytime you step onto the red carpet you should think out of the box."
Mission accomplished!

Kerry Washington

We're pretty sure Olivia Pope would approve of Kerry's purple floral Vera Wang dress—even though it's not white. "To honor Vera's design, I had a punk moment and I'm rocking purple streaks in my hair," said Washington. "I love it, I may have discovered something new about myself tonight!"
